The Strategic Arms Limitation Treaties refers to two rounds of bilateral talks and corresponding international treaties between the Soviet Union and the United States—the Cold War superpowers—on the issue of armament control.
There were two rounds of talks and agreements: SALT I and SALT II. SALT II later became START. Negotiations started in Helsinki, Finland, on November 17, 1969 and focused on limiting the two countries’ stocks of nuclear weapons. These treaties have led to START which is a Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. START I which is a 1991 agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union and START II which is a 1993 agreement between the United States and Russia placed specific caps on each side’s number of nuclear weapons.
